Sponsor a Child OrphanKind

Give vulnerable orphans the love and care they need to thrive

Every child deserves a happy, healthy childhood and the opportunity to build a brighter future. For many of the 140 million orphans worldwide, this is simply out of reach.

With your support, we can make sure that orphans and vulnerable children get all the opportunities you'd want for your own children.

For 10 Amazing Years, Penny Appeal has received over 51,000 orphan sponsorships – thank you!

Help us continue our life-changing work. Sponsor a child for just 50p a day and help build a brighter future for orphans in need!

Sponsor an Orphan

Build an Orphan Home

Help build a new orphan home and you'll provide a safe, loving home for countless orphans for years to come.

We don’t like to use the word orphanage. Orphanages conjure up Victorian workhouses serving gruel for dinner… our orphan homes are nothing like that.

They are real homes, with foster mothers, nutritious meals, new clothes, healthcare and access to the best education in the area. Help us build a new orphan home in Gambia and you'll provide a safe, loving home for countless orphans in need for years to come.

Your sponsorship helps provide nutritious meals, clothes, healthcare, an education and a dedicated guardian – all in a loving and caring home.

You can give a vulnerable orphan the chance to break out of poverty for

just 50p a day.

Sponsoring an Orphan in Islam

The Prophet (saw) was reported to have said:

“The one who cares for an orphan and myself will be together in Paradise like this,” and he held his two fingers together to illustrate.

The Qur’an couldn’t be clearer about our responsibility as Muslims to show compassion and care for orphans; orphan charity is one of the most blessed ways to honour Allah and give vulnerable children all the opportunities and love they deserve.

What 50p a day can provide

Malan's Story

What could you do with 50p? Buy a tiny bag of sweets? Get a quarter of a bus ticket?

Watch Malan’s story to see what just 50p a day can do for an orphan in need…

OrphanKind Welcome Pack

You'll receive a welcome pack so you can get to know your sponsored child a little better, and every year we'll send you two feedback reports so you can see exactly how your support is improving their life.

It's a beautiful gift to care for a child, so please sponsor an orphan today.

10 Years of OrphanKind

For 10 Amazing Years, you have helped us provide over 51,000 orphan sponsorships – Alhamdulillah!

We couldn’t do any of our transformative work without your help. We’d like to say a BIG thank you to each and every one of you who has sponsored – or plans to sponsor an orphan.

Because of YOU, thousands of orphans and vulnerable children are able to break free of the poverty cycle, and instead be safe to play, learn and grow just like every child deserves to be.

If you already sponsor an orphan – thank you so much!

YOU are helping us change the world. If you can, we’d love you to consider making even more of a difference and sponsoring another orphan, or helping us build a beautiful, safe, loving orphan home.

If you’re considering sponsoring an orphan, we’d like to encourage you to go for it! Sponsoring an orphan is one of the most rewarding acts of charity you can do; from seeing your sponsored child blossom in their new life, to the rewards Allah (swt) will shower upon you.

Together, we can make the next 10 years even more amazing than the last.

Sponsor a child for just 50p a day and help build a brighter future for orphans in need!

The Legacy of OrphanKind

There are 140 million orphans around the world. Many of these children have no one.

Any child is vulnerable; but none more so than a child without the protection of parents or guardians.
